The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in Alexandria Virginia recently hosted a fascinating display of technology. 3D Systems (NYSE: DDD ) , Stratasys (NASDAQ: SSYS ) , and other top companies involved in additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, displayed their wares in the same room.
Fool analyst Rex Moore was at the conference, and chatted with Stratasys engineer Jim Comb. In this installment of our multi-part series, Jim says that despite being around for many years, this technology is still in its infancy.
3D Systems is at the leading edge of a disruptive technological revolution, with the broadest portfolio of 3-D printers in the industry. However, despite years of earnings growth, 3D Systems' share price has risen even faster, and today the company sports a dizzying valuation. To help investors decide whether the future of additive manufacturing is bright enough to justify the lofty price tag on the company's shares, The Motley Fool has compiled a premium research report on whether 3D Systems is a buy right now. In our report, we take a close look at 3D Systems' opportunities, risks, and critical factors for growth.

Seriously, what is the deal with the Fool & DDD lately? NOT A DAY PASSES without at LEAST one article. I'm actually interested in this company & stock & have had it on my Watchlist for over a year (& yes, watched it go up & up without me) but this is getting ridiculous! Are you getting paid by the word to hawk it?!
I hate to say this as I LOVE me some Tim Tebow, but you guys are acting like ESPN last year & their incessant covering of Tebow. Which one of ya'll are SKIP BAYLESS?
Tebowmania is being replaced by DDD-DEMENTIA!

The article mentions Stratasys & 3D Systems, the film illustrates a Stratasys machine and an ExOne machine in operation.
You're the one that focused on DDD.
